Fred Sokolow: Bawdy Blues For Fingerstyle Ukulele

The blues has always been spiced with suggestive metaphors. This collection of bawdy blues songs celebrate the off-color blues repertoire: Bessie Smith is wild about her kitchen man's turnip tops, but Bo Carter's pencil won't write no more! There's lots of variety, with songs from the 1930s, 40s and 50s; some are simple three-chord blues tunes and others have beautiful, ragtime chord changes.

You'll learn to accompany yourself singing the songs, and how to play a fingerstyle instrumental version of each one. Fred's easy-going instructional style, his tips on playing the arrangements, and his slowed-down, split-screen performances of each tune make learning easy. All the arrangements are written out in tab and music as well...both the backup and solos. 76 minutes - Level 2 - Detailed tab/music PDF file on the DVD. DVD is region 0 playable worldwide.
